What tesamorelin is and why it's studied
Tesamorelin is a 44-amino-acid synthetic peptide derived from native GHRH with a trans-3-hexenoyl group attached to the N-terminal tyrosine. The modification protects the peptide from DPP-4 cleavage and produces a substantially longer functional half-life than unmodified GHRH(1-29) or sermorelin.
Published preclinical and clinical research has explored tesamorelin in studies of visceral adipose tissue, lipid metabolism, IGF-1 axis modulation and the broader growth-hormone secretory pathway. It remains the gold-standard reference GHRH analogue in laboratory work.
How Regena verifies every tesamorelin batch
Each tesamorelin batch is tested by an independent European peptide laboratory before any vial is released. The COA reports HPLC main-peak purity (target ≥99.0%), mass-spectrometry confirmation of molecular weight including the trans-3-hexenoyl modification, peptide content by nitrogen, and residual moisture.
Janoshik Analytical is the default verification partner. Per-batch PDFs are downloadable from the lab reports page and traceable to the batch number printed on every vial cap.
Storage, reconstitution and laboratory handling
Lyophilised tesamorelin is supplied as a sterile white powder under inert atmosphere. Hold unopened vials at 2–8 °C; transfer to −20 °C only if reconstitution will not happen within 8 weeks. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water for a 28-day in-use stability window under refrigeration; minimise light exposure to preserve the N-terminal tyrosine.
Most laboratories favour 2–5 mg/ml stock concentrations for ease of microlitre dispensing. Tesamorelin is sensitive to repeat freeze–thaw cycles — aliquot the full reconstituted volume before any freeze to preserve potency.
Buying tesamorelin in Spain and across Europe
Regena dispatches tesamorelin from the Costa del Sol with same- or next-day Andalucía delivery and 24–48 hour Spain-wide tracked courier coverage. Cross-border EU shipping uses DHL Express to Germany, France, Italy, Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium and Scandinavia.
Every EU shipment carries the matching batch COA and a research-use customs declaration. The consultations team will confirm import status for less common destinations before order placement.
Buying tesamorelin in the UK
UK research clients receive tesamorelin via tracked dispatch from the European hub in 2–4 working days. DHL Express upgrades are available for tighter timelines. VAT and customs handling are quoted transparently at checkout — no surprise import charges on delivery.
All UK orders ship with the same independent Janoshik COA used for EU clients. Additional paperwork (MSDS, CoO, CoC) is supplied on request before dispatch.
Buying tesamorelin in the United States
US-based research clients receive tesamorelin via discreet, fully tracked international dispatch in temperature-buffered packaging. The COA supplied with each shipment is identical to the document EU laboratories receive.
US buyers should confirm institutional research-purchasing policy before ordering. Tesamorelin is supplied strictly for research use only and is not approved for human consumption in any jurisdiction.
Tesamorelin vs CJC-1295 and ipamorelin
Researchers often compare tesamorelin with CJC-1295 (with and without DAC) and ipamorelin in growth-hormone secretory-axis panels. Tesamorelin is a stabilised GHRH analogue; CJC-1295 is a 30-residue GHRH analogue with optional DAC (drug-affinity-complex) modification for extended half-life; ipamorelin is a selective ghrelin/GHSR receptor agonist that acts on a different upstream pathway entirely.
Stocking the three from the same supplier keeps batch documentation and packaging consistent across a comparative growth-hormone secretory-axis study.
Quality signals to demand from a tesamorelin supplier
An honest tesamorelin supplier publishes a per-batch third-party COA that explicitly verifies the trans-3-hexenoyl N-terminal modification by mass spectrometry — a missing or incorrect modification is the single most common defect in cheap tesamorelin and cannot be detected by HPLC purity alone.
Regena's consultations team can walk new buyers through the COA, the reconstitution maths and the storage plan before any order is dispatched.
Frequently asked questions
What is tesamorelin?+
Tesamorelin is a stabilised 44-amino-acid GHRH analogue with a trans-3-hexenoyl modification at the N-terminus that protects against DPP-4 degradation.
Is tesamorelin safe for human use?+
Regena tesamorelin is supplied strictly for in-vitro and preclinical research and is not approved for human consumption in any jurisdiction.
What HPLC purity should I expect?+
≥99.0% main peak with mass-spectrometry identity confirmation that explicitly verifies the trans-3-hexenoyl modification.
How is tesamorelin reconstituted?+
With bacteriostatic water; refrigerate at 2–8 °C and use within 28 days. Aliquot before any freeze and minimise light exposure.
Do you ship tesamorelin to Spain?+
Yes — same- or next-day Andalucía delivery and 24–48 hour Spain-wide tracked dispatch.
Do you ship tesamorelin to the UK?+
Yes, with 2–4 day tracked dispatch and VAT/customs handling included transparently at checkout.
Do you ship tesamorelin to the USA?+
Yes, with discreet tracked international dispatch in temperature-buffered packaging.
How is tesamorelin different from CJC-1295?+
Both are GHRH-axis peptides, but tesamorelin is a 44-residue stabilised analogue while CJC-1295 is a 30-residue analogue available with or without a DAC half-life extension.
